As she moved, Xiao Wu kicked out with both legs in quick succession, constantly sending out sharp gusts of wind from all directions.
Gradually, Xiao Wu's rapidly spinning figure merged with countless gusts of wind, actually forming a small tornado with astonishing power on the arena.
The violent tornado roared and swept fiercely towards the Fire Dance in the center with devastating force!
Trapped in the eye of the storm, Huo Wu was overwhelmed and flustered by the fierce winds attacking from all directions.
Her prized Fire Resistance Ring is indeed very powerful in terms of defense, capable of deflecting all energy attacks without any blind spots.
However, the amount of soul power required to cast each spell is also very large.
In this intense battle, Xiao Wu had pinned her down, and her soul power was almost depleted.
In fact, under this relentless barrage of attacks, Huo Wu didn't even have a chance to catch her breath and use her strongest Fusion Ring talent.
Finally, as the last bit of soul power within Huo Wu's body was exhausted, the light of the Resisting Fire Ring dimmed instantly and shattered completely.
Huo Wu let out a cry of alarm. Her tall and fiery body lost its only defensive barrier and was ultimately swept up by the violent tornado.
Then, she was mercilessly thrown off the edge of the ring by the strong wind and crashed onto the floor outside the ring, completely disqualifying her from the match.
Xiao Wu, on the other hand, stopped steadily on the stage, standing still with her chest rising and falling slightly, also a little out of breath.
Huo Wu is indeed much more difficult to deal with than Huo Wushuang just now, especially that incredibly troublesome Fire Resistance Ring, which is practically the nemesis of all soul skills.
Every time she thought she had found a weakness and was about to succeed, she would be forcibly repelled by the Ring of Resistance, creating distance between them.
These frequent setbacks in her attacks will undoubtedly greatly increase her soul power consumption.
Seeing Huo Wu's defeat, the tens of thousands of spectators present erupted in thunderous cheers once again, and the entire Great Soul Arena was in complete uproar.
In the main stands.
Emperor Xueye stared intently at Xiao Wu on the arena, then turned to Ning Fengzhi beside him, his face full of amazement, and said:
"Sect Master Ning, those strange moves Xiao Wu used against Huo Wu just now, could they be... self-created soul skills?"
"But her martial soul is clearly just a Soft Bone Rabbit, not a wind attribute, so how can she create such amazing wind blades out of thin air?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly and explained, "Your Majesty, although Xiao Wu's martial soul does not possess the wind attribute, she is indeed a highly talented power-attack type soul master."
"Those wind blades on the arena just now were all due to her exquisite use of soul power."
"Then, relying entirely on the powerful force generated by her legs, she compressed the air and launched it out, which can be described as ingenious."
Emperor Xueye nodded in sudden realization, muttering to himself, "This Xiao Wu is indeed a rare genius."
"If this terrifying self-created soul skill were used by another wind attribute soul master, its power would probably be even greater."
On the other side, in a secluded corner of the inner field.
Yan from the Spirit Hall was utterly dumbfounded by the result of the battle between the two on the arena; his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
He swallowed hard, saying incredulously, "Aren't these two just too strong?"
"Especially that Xiao Wu, her martial soul is clearly just a Soft Bone Rabbit, yet she possesses an irresistible charm, powerful close-combat leg techniques, and can even use the surrounding wind to condense wind blades for long-range attacks..."
"This is freaking amazing... it's practically omnipotent!"
Xie Yue, standing to the side, also frowned deeply, his expression becoming more solemn than ever before. He said in a deep voice, "This year's Heaven Dou Royal Team is definitely not to be underestimated. Their strength has exceeded our expectations."
"After we return to Wuhun City this time, we must work even harder and cultivate even more diligently."
"Otherwise, in the Continental High-Level Soul Master Tournament a year and a half from now, we'll most likely be no match for this Heaven Dou Team..."
Hearing her brother and Yan's exclamations, Hu Liena stood aside and simply nodded silently without saying anything more.
As the owner of the copy of the diary, she knew a little about Xiao Wu's endless tricks.
This incredibly powerful so-called self-created soul skill was not something Xiao Wu comprehended on her own.
That was just a martial art technique that came with the "Wind God Leg" cultivation method she obtained from the system.
Moreover, Hu Liena knew very well that Xiao Wu had held back her strength in the previous match and had not used her full power.
Putting aside everything else, whether it's her supposedly invincible golden body that provides absolute defense, or her unpredictable teleportation.
Xiao Wu hadn't even used these two life-saving soul skills, which were practically divine abilities, yet.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the stands...
The atmosphere in the stands where the Kamikaze Academy members were located was somewhat tense, with everyone discussing the battle that had just taken place.
Feng Xiaotian, the captain of Shenfeng Academy, clenched his fist tightly, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force.
Even though he was wearing a thick mask, his teammates could clearly see the unease in their captain's heart from his eyes and brows.
At this moment, Feng Xiaotian was making comparisons in his mind.
He kept comparing his painstakingly developed Gale Wolf Thirty-Six Combo with the Wind God Leg technique that Xiao Wu had just used, trying to figure out which one was more powerful.
Feng Xiaotian thought to himself: If I had enough time and space to slowly stack up the number of consecutive slashes, then my self-created soul skill would definitely be stronger.
However, if it's a direct contest of burst power right from the start, then Xiao Wu's Wind God Leg combo is definitely stronger.
Of course, the premise of his mental comparison was to place both sides at the same soul power level for a fair comparison.
However, this was merely Feng Xiaotian's wishful thinking and conjecture; he was simply trying to comfort himself.
After all, he had never seen Xiao Wu's true strength when she was a level 42 Soul Master, let alone the fact that she was now a level 59 High-Rank Soul King.
...
Inside the preparation area of the Blazing Fire team.
Huo Wu, who was eliminated, looked pale and had a bitter smile on her lips.
She looked at the stunningly beautiful girl, Di Qiu'er, sitting to the side with a hint of helplessness.
"Qiu'er, I tried my best, but I still couldn't beat her. You'll have to go for the next match."
Huo Wu bit her lip and said, "Only if you personally step in and dampen her arrogance will my Blazing Fire team not be swept out of the first round by her in a three-way rout."
Upon hearing this, Di Qiu'er stood up from her comfortable chair and nodded obediently, saying, "Don't worry, Sister Huowu, leave it to me."
At this moment, the auspicious beast Emperor Qiu'er, who had transformed into human form, was so beautiful that she amazed all the team members around her.
She had long, slightly wavy hair that shone like gold, cascading down her back like a waterfall, with a noble and sacred luster subtly flowing through the strands.
Her features were exquisite, like the most perfect masterpiece sculpted by God himself, and her skin was fair and translucent, radiating a warm luster like the finest mutton fat jade.
Especially her crystal-clear eyes, which exude a purity and nobility untouched by worldly dust, yet also possess a wild and agile beauty belonging to a top-tier soul beast.
Immediately afterwards, the auspicious beast emperor Qiu'er walked lightly onto the central arena of the Great Soul Arena.
As she stood opposite Xiao Wu, the giant screen above the arena immediately rearranged, displaying the auspicious beast's personal information.
When those words were projected onto the big screen, the previously noisy atmosphere seemed to freeze completely at that moment.
[Di Qiu'er, Martial Soul: Three-Eyed Golden Lion, Level 66 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Emperor!]
[Soul Ring Configuration: Purple Purple Black Black Black Black!]
Dead silence.
The entire massive Heavenly Battle Arena instantly fell into an unprecedented deathly silence.
Immediately afterwards, an uproar erupted that was a hundred or a thousand times more violent than when Xiao Wu had appeared!
All the spectators and representatives of various forces around them were completely shocked by the information displayed on the large screen, their minds going blank.
"Good heavens! What am I seeing?! Pinch me, am I dreaming?!"
A Soul Master outside pointed at the screen in horror and screamed, "The Three-Eyed Golden Lion Martial Soul?! What kind of Martial Soul is that? I've never heard of it in the Spirit Hall's records!"
"Her martial spirit isn't the point; the point is that she's actually a level 66 Battle Spirit Emperor! How old does she look?"
In the audience, countless self-proclaimed geniuses clutched their heads in anguish, feeling that all their years of hard work had been for nothing.
"Look at her spirit ring configuration! Purple-purple-black-black-black-black!"
"The first and second spirit rings are both thousand-year purple, surpassing the hundred-year limit! The next four are all black ten-thousand-year spirit rings!"
"How is this possible? How could a fragile human body withstand a thousand-year-old level of violent energy in the very first stage? This absolutely does not conform to the theories of the Martial Soul world!"
Even the usually composed Emperor Xueye and Ning Fengzhi could no longer maintain their composure in the main stands. They suddenly stood up from their esteemed seats, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.
Salas, the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall, trembled violently with both hands, his eyes fixed on the auspicious beast.
They never expected that the Blazing Fire Team would have such a powerful offensive Soul Emperor at level 66!
This is simply too unbelievable.
It should be noted that the little girl named Di Qiu'er on the big screen only looked a little older than Lin Yuan.
Although in the eyes of those in the know, Di Qiu'er's level of 66 was still inferior to Lin Yuan's.
However, the level and the configuration of the spirit rings still surprised and shocked them immensely.
Some may wonder why Emperor Xueye and his group, as the organizers, only showed such shock at this moment?
The reason is actually quite simple.
That's because the specific information about the participating players on both sides was only transmitted to the three teams half an hour before the official start of the match.
Emperor Xueye calmed himself down, turned to Ning Fengzhi beside him, and slowly said, "It seems that the Blazing Fire Team has some confidence to take the initiative to launch an exchange match with our Royal Academy this time."
Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly and smiled elegantly, "Your Majesty, that is indeed the case. This has exceeded our expectations."
"But this actually greatly increases the appeal of this exchange match, doesn't it? We can take this opportunity to get a feel for the competition."
At this moment, Gu Rong, the Bone Douluo who had been standing quietly beside Ning Fengzhi, frowned deeply.
He sighed inwardly, wondering how so many peerless geniuses had suddenly emerged in this generation of Soul Masters, like an explosion.
Gu Rong originally thought that Lin Yuan and his fellow royal team members were already incredibly talented, a once-in-a-millennium talent.
But he never expected that today would be such an eye-opener. In the Blazing Fire Team, not only is the vice-captain Huo Wu exceptionally talented, but now Di Qiu'er's talent and strength have reached an astonishing level.
Looking back on those days, Gu Rong couldn't help but give a bitter smile.
At their age of fifteen or sixteen, he was merely a low-level Soul Master...
Thinking of this, Gu Rong's lips moved slightly, and he quietly used the technique of forcing a sound into a line to transmit his voice to Ning Fengzhi:
"Feng Zhi, Huo Wu and Di Qiu'er on the stage, their talents are both quite outstanding, one in a million."
"Do you have any plans to recruit them? If we can bring them into the sect, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will surely be even stronger in the future."
Ning Fengzhi listened to Gu Rong's words, but his face remained calm, maintaining that gentle smile.
He also transmitted his voice, saying, "Uncle Gu, your idea is good, but it's probably difficult to achieve."
"These established elemental academies are all backed by powerful, well-established family forces that provide substantial support behind the scenes."
"I suppose these core members would never be willing to abandon their families and join my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
Upon hearing this, Gu Rong thought about it carefully and sighed helplessly, feeling somewhat regretful.
Indeed, none of the five major elemental academies on the mainland are easy to deal with.
Just like the Thunder Academy, which is known for its offensive power, they are backed by the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, one of the three upper sects.
The other four elemental academies also each have their own powerful backers.
For example, the Elephant Armor Academy, which is known for its defense, is backed by the Elephant Armor Sect, one of the Seven Lower Sects.
The Blazing Fire Academy is no exception; they are backed by the Blazing Fire Clan, which specializes in passing down fire-attribute martial souls.
Of course, compared to behemoths like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the family power behind them is definitely weaker.
